Debem supplier in Romania
Air-operated diaphragm pumps for industry and chemicals
Founded in 1982 · Headquarters: Busto Arsizio, Italy
Who is Debem and what does it make?
Debem is an Italian manufacturer of air-operated diaphragm pumps and magnetic drive centrifugal pumps, headquartered in Busto Arsizio, in the province of Varese. The range covers air-operated double diaphragm pumps from the Boxer, Cubic and Fullflow families, a Foodboxer variant for food contact, horizontal DM and KM magnetic centrifugal pumps, plus drum transfer pumps and pulsation dampeners. For the Romanian market we can quote from the Debem range where the fluid is corrosive, abrasive or contains particles, and a conventional centrifugal pump will not hold up.
The advantage of a Debem air-operated diaphragm pump is the absence of a mechanical seal subject to friction, which reduces the risk of leakage with aggressive fluids, plus self-priming under dry negative suction, useful for completely emptying a vessel. The DM and KM magnetic centrifugal pumps likewise eliminate the mechanical seal through a magnetic coupling, suited to hazardous chemicals where a leak is not acceptable. ATEX and IECEx certifications cover versions for explosive atmospheres. In the air-operated diaphragm pump segment, Debem is found in the chemical and processing industries.
In chemicals, electroplating and the food industry, Debem gives access to pumps without a conventional mechanical seal, useful for transferring acids, paints, adhesives or viscous food products, with versions certified for explosive atmospheres.
What do we supply from the Debem range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Boxer diaphragm pumps | Air-operated double diaphragm pumps, self-priming under dry negative suction, robust and suited to demanding continuous operation. They have no mechanical seal subject to friction, which reduces the risk of leakage with corrosive or abrasive fluids. Typical application: transfer of paints, adhesives, diluted acids or industrial sludges; the customer must confirm the chemical compatibility of the diaphragm material with the fluid conveyed and the available air pressure. |
| DM and KM magnetic centrifugal pumps | Centrifugal pumps with magnetic coupling, without a mechanical seal between motor and impeller, eliminating the risk of leakage with hazardous or toxic fluids. The DM and KM series cover horizontal continuous transfer applications in the chemical industry. Typical application: transfer of corrosive chemicals in a closed circuit; the customer must specify the flow, the pressure required and the compatibility of the wetted materials with the fluid. |
| Foodboxer diaphragm pumps | A variant of the double diaphragm pump, built in AISI 316 / 316 L stainless steel and PTFE for the food and cosmetics industries (manufacturer's name: FDA Boxer). It keeps the self-priming operating principle of the Boxer range, adapted for hygiene and frequent cleaning. Typical application: transfer of viscous or semi-liquid food products in the processing industry; the customer must confirm the type of food product and the cleaning frequency required. |

How do we supply Debem in Romania?
We source Debem pumps to order through EU supply channels, based on the information published by the manufacturer — we confirm the exact availability in the quotation. Made to order, usually 1–4 weeks, confirmed after checking availability at the factory in Italy; we do not currently keep Debem pumps on our shelves. For a quotation we need the type of fluid pumped, the chemical compatibility required for the diaphragm or wetted parts, the flow wanted and, where relevant, whether the installation area requires ATEX certification.
The diaphragm material suited to a complex chemical mixture is chosen on the basis of the fluid's safety data sheet.
Frequently asked questions about Debem
What does Debem make?
Debem makes air-operated double diaphragm pumps and magnetic coupling centrifugal pumps, used for corrosive, abrasive or particle-laden fluids. The range includes the Boxer, Cubic and Fullflow families, plus the Foodboxer variant for food contact and the DM/KM magnetic pumps for chemicals.
How do I choose a Debem diaphragm pump by chemical compatibility?
You need to send us the exact type of fluid conveyed, ideally with its safety data sheet, so that we can check which diaphragm material (for example PTFE or elastomers) withstands prolonged contact. The choice between the Boxer, Cubic or Fullflow families in the Debem range depends on this.
Do you supply Debem pumps in Romania and how quickly?
Yes, we source Debem pumps to order through EU supply channels, usually within 1–4 weeks. We do not keep any model on our shelves, so we confirm the exact lead time after the order is placed with the technical specifications of the application.
What information do you need for a quotation on a Debem magnetic centrifugal pump?
You need to specify the type of fluid, the flow and pressure required, the working temperature and the materials compatible with the chemical conveyed. With this data we check whether the DM or KM series suits your application and confirm the delivery time.
How do I request a Debem quotation?
Send the Debem code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
